Puras, a psychiatrist in Lithuania, recently issued his report proposing a shift in paradigm for addressing mental health. The report suggests moving from a biomedical approach to a focus on the preconditions of poor mental health, psychosocial interventions, empowering users of mental health services, and redressing power asymmetries, including an end to coercive practices.

The panel discussion kicks off a day of events marking the O’Neill Institute's 10th Anniversary.
